21 pounds in 21 days

Diets don't work for the simple reason that it is impossible to stay on them as they just don't fit into our life-styles and become a total drag.  Not only that, but rapid weight-loss ones like this one can be positively dangerous, depleting the body of essential vitamins and minerals, potassium, etc.

When one goes OFF a diet, the pounds not only reappear, but you get the added "benefit" of adding even more pounds as you start to crave all those things you were denied on your diet.

So adopt a healthy eating plan and use the pyramid food diagram.  You can find this on MayoClinic.com - plus a healthy eating plan.  Cut out as many white over-refined products as you can.  Start the day with some healthy oatmeal, etc., and don't forget - speed up your metabolism or you won't see any results - healthy eating and exercise go hand-in-glove.

Maybe you should try the other version 7 pounds in seven days and see if you like it first?

Hi, My name is Gwen. I lost 27 pounds in 21 days on the Martha's Vineyard diet. I feel absolutely great. I thank the good lord for this diet everyday. I have been obese for so long and this diet is saving my life. I am in the second round of 21 days and I have now lost a total of 50 lbs. I took a break in between for 2 weeks. I was anxoius to start again before the holidays. You must follow the book word for word exactly as precribed. But you will loose the weight if you do. The diet is a little expensive and time consuming but it is worth the effort.

Way too fast - losing weight at that rate is seriously bad for you. Apart from feeling awful during the process you will put most of the weight back on again when you come off the diet

I don't see anything wrong with losing weight too fast. It is true some people gain the weight back because they haven't learned how to eat healthy. I would say do it if you plan to eat healthier afterward. When you get gastric bypass surgery you are actually losing weight because your stomach can't hold that much food so you are eating less, not to mention they start out with liquid. If you have a doctor let him/her know what you are doing and get checked out every week if possible while on the detox plan. There are tons of places online you can go to and get recipes to continue on a healthy path.

I am always really very dubious of anything that offers a 'quick' result.

From watching friends dieting, it seems the ones who opt for slow and steady, do win the race! They keep the weight off where as those who have lost amazing amounts in a short period of time tend to put it all back on, and some after a few months.

I would personally avoid such a diet myself.

A lot of the time all a person has to do is change their heating habits and move around a bit more. This will mean changing in the long term, but if it means you are fitter and your body isn't under stress, thumbs up from me!

hey dont believe in all this i would suggest that you know your body best so try and have meals in smaller proportion and then eat it before 7 everyday and then have sumthing light after 7 and then do incorporate some physical work in your routine like gyming or walking or running or sumthing of that sort.....

Health is the biggest treasure of mankind. Without health a man is nothing. The best exercises for weight loss are the ones that are practiced regularly. It is not necessary that a person in order to lose weight should join rigorous training. The first thing to do when planning out an exercise routine is to consider the factors of your body and age. Same exercise regimes will not suite everyone. You should first off decide how much weight you need to lose. Then you can form your own exercise regime considering the facts such as your age and the time you can spend and your stamina every day. It is best if you hire a professional trainer and do this together with his consultation. However it is not required that you must hire a professional. If you can estimate your body’s wants and needs then you can plan this out for yourself. Also you can take online help in finding the regime that is best suited for you. The most important things here are to make the regime that fits for you and then stick to it. There is no point in exercising for a day or so and then discontinuing. Repetition is the key to losing weight and gaining a healthy body. You should be careful not to over work yourself. The biggest danger while working out is that you tend to over work yourself. This leads to excessive use of your muscles that may lead to injuries. This means that you can permanently damage some muscles in your attempt to make them stronger. Once those muscles are damage or torn it may take several days for them to heal back. Sometimes the damage can be permanent also. Therefore it is very dangerous to embark on heavy workout without proper guidance or training. Do not work out more than the strain that your body can take. You cannot become Mr. Perfect in three days. Only with continuous efforts and regular workouts can you achieve the perfect bodies. Start slow and see how much work your body can withstand. Once you known your limits you can set up your workout regime within these limits. This will help you to work out most safely and efficiently. Also make progress in you training. Try going beyond your limits in very little amounts every day. This will help you to raise the bar in you levels of stamina and endurance. The main exercise that you should be concentrating on is cardiovascular diseases. These can be simple exercise like walking to more rigorous work outs. But walking is most recommended especially to beginners. This also serves as a good warm up exercise to all your body parts. To progress from walking you can take up running. You should make it a point that you work out for minimum of 30 minutes every day and try working out for 45 minutes. As you get more and more accustomed to the exercise that you perform, you can raise the bar of your limits progressively on them. Jogging is also recommended. The number of calories that you can burn during one session of training is the speed at which you can run of jog. It is also true that jogging uphill will cause you to lose more calories. Although one should be careful as jogging as a high impact on the joints of your body. It is safer to jog on customized treadmills than to jog on plain roads. Another important aspect while on a training regime is to stay on a healthy diet. To stay on a diet will give you the extra energy that you need to help you gain a beautiful and a perfect body.
